Read MoreI taught along with John at CMU and always enjoyed working with him. He got me started playing with German Bands and helped me sub for various bands through the years.

I will always remember John.

John was a special guy quiet but always friendly with me. Whenever he would play in Arizona I made it a point to go and see him and spend a few minutes with him. Very sorry for your loss.

Fran,
Our prayers are with you. John was one of my favorite people. He was a great friend during the Rolling Along Show when we traveled the world. I enjoyed our trips to Las Vegas and his staying in touch all these years. I will truly miss him. God bless..

I played with John for many years and truly enjoyed his music and his wonderful good nature. He was one of the very best and will be missed. Playing duets will never be the same. Thanks, John, for the wonderful memories.
